It would not be an exaggeration to call Robert Mulligan a one-hit-wonder with "To Kill A Mockingbird". However, his one-hit happens to be one of the greatest cinematic accomplishments of all-time. Mulligan, however, also directed a couple of films for which I have much affection, especially his final film, "The Man in the Moon", which starred a young Reese Witherspoon in one of the most touching coming-of-age films I have ever seen. Mulligan's career was long and successful in both film and television and he was nominated for an Academy Award. His brother, actor Richard Mulligan, was also prolific in film and television.
